The at least one of the duromers has a polymerization temperature between 50 and 100° C., with a second one of the other ones of the duromers having a polymerization temperature between 170 and 220° C. and a third one of the other ones of the duromers having a polymerization temperature between 230 and 260° C.

Disclosed is a laminate having a carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic resin woven layer (X) and a thermoplastic resin foam layer (Y) layered in the order of layer (X)/layer (Y)/layer (X), wherein the fabric contains unidirectional fiber reinforced resin sheets as warp and weft, the unidirectional fiber reinforced resin sheet containing continuous carbon fibers and a thermoplastic resin, and the carbon fibers are aligned in a longitudinal direction of the unidirectional fiber reinforced resin sheet, and the ratio (y/x) of the thickness (y) of the layer (Y) and the thickness (x) of the layer (X) is 3-40, and the density of the layer (Y) is 0.2-0.6 g/cc. Also disclosed are: a three-dimensional molded laminate in which a three-dimensional shape is given to said laminate; and a method for producing a three-dimensional molded laminate.

A laminating apparatus for a curved screen including a base, an elastic component, a backing plate, and a flexible pressing mold, where the backing plate is arranged above the base, the elastic component is connected to the backing plate, the flexible pressing mold covers the backing plate, and a top of the flexible pressing mold is arranged as a curved surface adapted to a shape of a screen; and the base includes a main body and two side beams connected to two sides of the main body, the side beams are higher than the main body in a vertical direction, the side beams are provided with grooves and supporting parts extending along length directions of respective side beams, and two sides of the flexible pressing mold extend outward to cover the supporting parts and reach into the grooves.

A method of manufacturing a display device includes: preparing a cover window including a bent part on a side surface thereof, and a guide film including a surface on which a display panel and an adhesive layer are arranged; arranging the cover window and the guide film in a face-to-face manner such that the adhesive layer faces the cover window; seating the guide film onto a seating pad of a first jig; preforming the display panel by bringing opposite ends of the guide film into close contact with opposite side surfaces of the seating pad using a pair of push members; and joining the display panel with the cover window by bringing the adhesive layer into contact with the cover window.

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a reflector. The method comprises polishing (520) at least the uppermost surface of the uppermost substantially flat substrate of a plurality of substantially flat substrates, deforming (530) each substantially flat substrate into the desired shape, and bonding (540) the deformed substrates together to form said reflector. In an embodiment, the deforming and bonding is performed together using a mold.

Methods for manufacturing a panel for a ball, in particular for a soccer ball, as well as panels manufactured by these methods and balls with such panels. A method comprises the following steps: providing a carrier material having an outer side and an inner side within a mold having at least one first and at least one second mold part. Three-dimensionally molding an outer layer of the panel on the outer side of the carrier material within the mold. Three-dimensionally molding an inner layer of the panel on the inner side of the carrier material using at least the first mold part.

A method for the adhesive bonding of substrates by applying a layer of adhesive (1) on a first substrate and/or on a second substrate; and positioning the first substrate on the second substrate, with the applied layer of adhesive (1) arranged therebetween. Before positioning the first substrate on the second substrate, the method proceeds by applying radiation-based curing means (13) to the layer of adhesive (1) to selectively and partially cure the layer of adhesive (1).

A method for laminating a protective screen onto a flexible display support, notably an electronic tile, includes the following steps bringing a protective screen and a display support progressively into contact by using an elastically deformable punch until a maximum area of contact between the protective screen and the display support is achieved in a configuration in which the assembly formed by the protective screen and the display support is fully laminated. The external surface of the punch has a three-dimensional shape substantially equal to that of the display support.

The present disclosure discloses a laminating device, a laminating method, and a display device. The laminating device is configured to laminate a flexible member to be laminated to a curved receiving member. The laminating device includes a gasbag. The gasbag includes an elastic housing configured for receiving gas medium. The elastic housing includes a carrying portion and a clamping portion which are connected to each other. The carrying portion is configured to carry the flexible member to be laminated. The elastic housing is provided with a plurality of first apertures. When a gas pressure in the elastic housing reaches a first preset pressure, the gas medium is released to outside of the elastic housing through the first apertures. This design can avoid a bad laminating caused by an improper adjustment of laminating pressure.

Methods and a device are provided for conditioning, in particular smoothing, a data carrier constructed as a card-like and multi-layer laminate, in particular an RFID or NFC ticket, for a subsequent application of data, in particular by printing thereon. A simultaneous heating of the data carrier and application of pressure to a first main surface of the card-like data carrier takes place while the second main surface opposite the first main surface is in contact with an at least substantially flat support surface, to cause a reduction or elimination of a curvature of the data carrier which may have existed previously.
